Happy Beltane, Calan Mai !

Working away on several projects. This one is resurrected. The original stitch I chose just didn't show off this gorgeous handspun at all, so it sat in the basket. I think I've found something that works a little better and it's getting lots of love as my "Commute" project. The second photo is the best representation of the colour.

I have a new sock design in the works. I'm really enjoying working on it and looking forward to getting it written up. The yarn is DkKnits "Special Occasion" and it is fabulous to knit with, a little silk and silver never hurt anyone :).

The April Sock clubs have mostly arrived, the Wool Girl April is gorgeous as always and my Yarn Pirate - yummy! (you'll have to take my word until I have a photo). Zen Mama outdid herself this month :) - will have to really think about what will do these beauties justice...

The Toho Round Seed Beads 8/0's in 'Metallic Cosmos' should be here any day and hopefully, the FO will be worth the wait.
Stymied creatively, I wandered around my stash and Rav queue, looking for something to keep me occupied until I can get back to NCM and came up with some recently stashed Tosh merino light and a shawl pattern from The Yarniad - 'Pennae'. It's coming along nicely with a mod here and there so I don't die of 'garter-itis' and quellin…
